The Formula 1 United States Grand Prix™ Comes to Austin
Formula One World Championship Limited and Formula One Administration
Limited (together, the F1 Commercial Rights Holder) and Full Throttle
Productions, LP, promoter of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix™ have
announced an historic agreement for Austin, Texas to serve as the host
city of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix™ for years 2012 through
2021.
“As
many Americans know, Austin has earned a reputation as one of the 'it'
cities in the United States,” stated Tavo Hellmund. “Austin features that
rare combination of ideal geographic location and beauty. Its fine dining,
world-renowned hospitality and excellent transportation infrastructure
make Austin ideally suited to host and manage an event of this magnitude.
Few cities if any in America could rival the connectivity of all these key
elements needed for hosting a Formula 1 event as well as Austin.”
Now, many people around the world will have the opportunity to experience
a world-class event, facility and city. “We are pleased Texas has the
opportunity to be involved with Formula 1 and that an event of this
magnitude is coming to Austin,” said Susan Combs, Texas Comptroller of
Public Accounts. “It has been a pleasure working with Full Throttle
Productions, LP and Mr. Hellmund on this project. Their tradition of
producing successful major events coupled with a thirty year relationship
with Mr. Ecclestone has us looking forward to this worldwide event and the
benefits it will bring, including local job creation, increased tourism
and a significant economic impact added to our state economy. The
visibility and prestige of this event will spotlight our state on an
international stage.”
Texas Governor Rick Perry conveyed his enthusiasm for the project,
explaining Texas' relatively strong economy continues to draw both
national and international attention and I commend Comptroller Combs for
her work in bringing this exciting event to the “Lone Star State.”
City of Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell continued the positive sentiments,
adding “The City of Austin will be proud to host this magnificent event
and I look forward to welcoming the participants and fans of Formula One
to our City.”
